Bloodwood

Bloodwood is the densest wood we offer. Holding a Bloodwood utensil in your hand feels almost like holding steel. Color can vary from rich pinkish red to reddish brown and Bloodwood has a good resistance to color change with age. It has a fine texture, small pores, and sometimes irregular grain patterns. Commonly used to add a splash of color to fine furniture and cabinetry, a little Bloodwood is the perfect way to spice up your kitchen. See our wood care section for tips on keeping your Bloodwood utensils looking just the way you like them.

Here's some of the variations you might see in your Bloodwood utensils:
